Positioned as the benchmark agricultural, animal and forestry fair in sub-Saharan Africa, SARA has been revived by the Ivorian government in order to enhance, promote and develop all the riches of the agricultural, livestock and fishing sector of Côte d'Ivoire while integrating African countries. With more than 300,000 visitors expected from 25 countries, the BeninCajù project for the integration and acceleration of the cashew sector in Benin, funded by the USDA Department of Agriculture, and implemented by TechnoServe Benin and CRS, did not stay on the sidelines of this major event, in order to: * Benefit from greater visibility * Establish business contacts and share experiences * Promote the Sweet Benin cashew apple juice driven by the BeninCajù project * Test the Ivorian and sub-regional market * Multiply the opportunities to sell Sweet Benin cashew apple juice. Thus, present on SARA during the 10 days of opening, BeninCajù has positioned Sweet Benin juices as the innovation in cashew apple processing. Indeed, previously little valued, the cashew apple was revealed in 2017 by BeninCajù, under the Sweet Benin label, like the other treasure of the cashew tree.
